Best Automatic Vacuum Cleaner and Mop Combos
Auto vacuums and mops are great tools to keep your home clean. They automatically empty their dirt bins into an area that soaks up debris after each cleaning session.
This model excels at both vacuuming and mopping with excellent floor coverage, outstanding hair pickup and tangle avoidance with a near-perfect auto-empty score, and much more. It's also relatively affordable.
iRobot Roomba Combo i5
The iRobot Roomba Combo i5 is an impressive little tool that excels in both vacuuming and mopping hard floors. The robot can clean your floors and you can program it to do specific tasks. This is a great option for those who have mostly hardwood or linoleum flooring in their home and want one machine to handle the majority of the cleaning.
This robot is easy to control from your phone. The app is simpler than other brands, but it has all the essential features. One of the best features is the ability to set up a schedule. You can also make an appropriate cleaning schedule for your schedule.
It is also possible to control the robot using your voice, which is great feature. It's compatible with Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant-enabled devices, so you can ask it to clean the kitchen or the entire house. It's also intelligent enough to be able to understand more commands than other 2-in-1 vacuums and also has a specific mode for areas with more dirt.
SMART NAVIGATION
The robot will create an intelligent map of your home with Imprint technology, and then vacuum and mop. It'll be able detect different floor types and even pick up pet hair, dirt and other debris. It is equipped with Dual Multi-Surface Brushes that flex to adjust to the flooring type you choose, loosening and lifting dirt to be sucked up by the Power-Lifting Suction.
The vacuum will return to its docking station automatically once the dust bin is filled. The app will alert you when it's time to empty the bin, allowing you to do it and continue vacuuming. It is also compatible with iRobot's self-emptying clean bases, which makes it easy to manage your dirty bins.
The product comes with some drawbacks. It's costly. Additionally, the manual is minimal, and there's absolutely nothing in the printed documents on how to fix problems with wifi connectivity. If you can resolve these minor issues, the iRobot Roomba Combo is a great investment for your home.
iRobot Roomba Combo j5+
iRobot Combo J5+ is among the best robot vacuum cleaner and mop combos on the market. It is a powerful four-stage cleaning system to take care of dust, dirt and pet hair. It comes with mopping pads that is designed to clean up stains and spills. It is easy to set up and is connected to your smart home devices. Its advanced navigation and mapping capabilities allow it adapt to different kinds of terrain without becoming lost or stuck.
The iRobot Combo J5+ has an efficient electricity management system which ensures that its battery capacity lasts longer. It is able to clean large areas before it needs to return to the docking station to recharge. This improves convenience for the consumer and allows for continuous cleaning classes.
This vacuum cleaner also features an auto-empty bin. This feature is a major benefit for busy households since it decreases the frequency of emptying. It automatically dumps the waste into a larger bin located in its charging station. This device can hold up 60 days of debris. It is more convenient than the standard mop or vacuum cleaner that requires you to empty the bins manually.
This model, in contrast to some of its rivals that use precision-vision, doesn't. It instead relies on basic floor tracking algorithms-based navigation, and basic floor tracking. This means it might be unable to locate certain areas in your home, and isn't as good at obstacle avoidance as other models. It's still a great vacuum for the majority of debris, and it's available for purchase at an affordable price.
The Roomba Combo J5+ can be controlled with your voice. It is compatible with Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant-enabled devices. You can instruct the Roomba to start cleaning, look at its map, or create digital obstacles. Roomba is a great way to keep track of your cleaning routines and adjust the schedule to suit your requirements.
The Roomba Combo J5+ is a great choice for households with a mix of hard and carpet floors. Its smart mop and vacuum system can detect and avoid areas that have carpets and rugs, and it does an excellent job vacuuming hard flooring without smearing carpets. It also does well on carpets and can take on coffee stains that have dried.
Roomba j9+ from iRobot
The Roomba j9+ successfully builds on previous Roomba enhancements and its improved performance and incredible cleaning abilities set it apart from virtually all its competitors. It's designed to efficiently clean larger spaces and homes with pets, taking on dust, dirt, pet hair and more in both hard and soft floors. It's also the smartest iRobot Roomba ever, featuring advanced features like Dirt Detective and mopping automation that anticipates your cleaning requirements.
Like its predecessor, the j9+ uses the iRobot's PrecisionVision navigation technology and a camera that can detect obstacles in your home. This allows the robot to navigate around cords, furniture, shoes and wires and even pet poop (which it can identify thanks to iRobot's famous P.O.O.P guarantee). The J9+ has a smaller and more furniture-friendly Clean Base.
After your robot has cleaned a space it docks at the Clean Base and its dirt bin is automatically emptied. The iRobot Home App records each cleaning job, and displays cleaned areas on your map. The app lets you select a specific time for mopping and/or vacuuming.
If you select a specific time to mop or vacuum, the iRobot Home app will let you know the estimated cleaning duration. You can also select the number of cleaning passes (1, 2 or "room-size", where large rooms are cleaned once and smaller areas twice to three times). You can also control the power and water levels and bin's behavior.
The iRobot App also comes with a neat feature called review of images. If the robot encounters an obstacle that it is unable recognize, it will snap an image and send it to you to review. You can mark the object as an obstacle, or put Keep-Out Zones around it. The j9+ will then stay clear of the object for subsequent occasions.
The automatic mopping feature is a major reason why we prefer the J9+ over other robot vacuums. The j9+ is able to automatically clean hard-to-clean debris and dirt when you enable SmartScrub in the app. It also can detect and get rid of coffee spills, wet spots and dirt. However, despite the numerous mopping functions that are automatic the j9+ can't wash its mop pads automatically as some of its competitors.
iRobot SwitchBot
The SwitchBot is a fantastic choice for those who love robot vacuum cleaners, but prefer the versatility and ease of a mop. The tiny robot combines the best features of both categories into an elegant device that seamlessly blends into your home decor. It mops and vacuums well and easily navigates across different floor surfaces and features strong suction to tackle dust, pet hair and dust.
The SwitchBot's small size provides it with an advantage in cluttered rooms where larger robots could struggle to maneuver around furniture. After connecting the SwitchBot to your Wi-Fi, it'll display a panel on your phone with quick controls -- a button to start a cleaning project and another to clear any clutter. You can also create zones that aren't allowed so that the bot won't accidentally sweep up things you don’t want it too.
During my tests, the SwitchBot managed to navigate the apartment with ease as it picked up crumbs and droppings from carpets and hard floors with the vacuum setting. Its smart navigation systems use LDS laser radar to make a map of your home, which means it can precisely map the layout. It also detects and avoids objects likely to be tangled or crushed by the robot.
The SwitchBot's edge sweeping brush is spinning when the vacuum setting is activated, and it sweeps up any debris that crosses its path. It also reaches underneath chairs and tables, so it's an excellent option for homes that host lots of family gatherings. The app's settings allow you adjust the speed and direction as well as the power of the vacuum motor.
When the SwitchBot is in Mops mode, its underside is equipped with a disposable wet cloth which you can replace when it runs dry. The wipes are more affordable and less wasteful than the washable pads used by most robotic mops. The wipes are securely fit, preventing them from fall out as on other robot mops. The robot comes with the cleaning tool, which is typically hidden in a compartment on the back of the charging unit.
